Total Control Over Your Photos
There's a new tool that allows you to approve or reject any picture or post you're tagged in. You can choose not to use the tool, which means everything will automatically be approved. (Even if you're not in the habit of double-fisting margs and making out with randos, we suggest you opt to use the tool.) There's one catch, though: even if you don't approve a photo you're tagged in, someone can still post the photo of you. Your tag just won't be associated with it and the alert won't pop up on your wall or in your friends’ newsfeeds”
Easy-to-Use Privacy Settings
They're no longer be buried and require a Google search to figure out how to manage them. Next to each piece of content on your profile (where you're from, your birthday, the album you just put up) there will be a mini drop-down menu. When you click, you'll be able to choose who can see that particular part of your profile.
The Ability to Share Your Status With Just a Few People
When you post an update, that same drop-down menu will appear and you can choose to share "Oh my god, can't believe there was an earthquake in NYC!" with everyone or just a select, customizable group of friends.
An Option to Tag Non-Friends
Currently, if you put up a group shot, say from a wedding, and want to tag people with whom you're not Facebook friends, you had to friend them first. Kinda awkward. As of tomorrow, you will be able to tag someone without friending them first. And others can do the same to you. Though, naturally, you'll have the chance to approve the tagging first.
See Your Profile From Others' POV
If you're ever paranoid that someone like your boss might be able to see something you don't want him/her to see, there's a tool that lets you view how your page looks from particular people's screens. There's now a button at the top right corner of your Facebook page that reads "View Profile As...". Click it and let out a sigh of relief that your ex-boyfriend can't see the album you just put up of you and your current guy on vacation. Or that your ex can see the album. Hey, we're not judging.
So take control of your Profile.All the best!
